Originally planed as a one-day event, the now two-day festival takes place at Hopton Wafers, in the stunning Hereford & Worcestershire countryside. This year’s Ringmaster will home big top tents with the look and feel of a vintage circus but with a focus very much on music.

With a shared vision and ethos of celebrating creativity in all forms whilst supporting the next generation running through from the festival founders and all the extended staff Ringmaster will be donating a share of £5 per ticket to their two chosen charities, Barnardo’s & Longlands Care Farm. The festival will also be supporting the local area by using local food produce.
